I try to avoid posts about my personal world much on here - my aim is to keep things about my video work and interesting music related projects.
However, I think it’s worth celebrating the fact that my family has SUCCESSFULLY MOVED HOUSE!
Wooo and indeed HOOO.
It’s been 5 years since we first started trying to make all the pieces of our life fit toward the goal of moving house.
Money vs time vs energy vs life.
It’s a struggle.
It all got a bit much, after failing to sell our house first time around hit us pretty hard. Selling was/is exhausting work.
But after really REALLY needing the extra space, we decided over lockdown to give it another go. This post documents us in Feb 2021 figuring things out..
It has taken us the best part of 8 months to sell, buy and move.
It’s been exhausting but totally worth it.
We stayed focussed, saved money, planned ahead.
We’ve been focussed on getting a suitable house for the last 10 years! Saving hard and planning.
Our timing was particularly good too because we managed to take advantage of the Covid stamp duty relief in the UK, saving us £2400!! Which worked perfectly as we managed to complete and exchange 2 days before the deadline.
Here’s me and my youngest upon move day at our new house!
The first sunrise view from our house back window.
The light floods in to the kitchen, dining room and back bedroom. It’s beautiful to watch 😍
This house is everything we wanted.
Waaaay more indoor space, lovely neighbourhood, detached with a garden front and back, and a garage.
We’re finally feeling settled in after a good couple of weeks.
We’ve managed to empty 80% of our moving boxes.. and we made good use of them before passing on to a friend who is also moving soon…
(I enjoyed doing this way more than I should 😆)
BOX FORT!!
We are still celebrating two weeks in!
Life is good and moves so quick.
We are so energised to start this new chapter of our lives making this house awesome!
